People will have different views on the best electric heaters because it is down to personal preference but I think fan heaters are probably the most common. The best fan heaters are those with two heat settings (I wouldn't go over 2000w maximum), a thermostat, and a safety cut-out switch which turns it off if knocked over.

Something like this is fine but you can pick them up cheaper than that 

I love my fan heater. It has 2 settings, variable heat, thermostatic control and cool air function.
We only ever use it on the 1kw setting and have the heat setting at about 1/2 and this is more than enough to heat our Khyam Ontartio 8 at the beginning and end of the season (March/April and October)

If you have decent sleeping bags and layer your clothes, I wouldn't have thought you'd need a heater during the summer months.

We use a dimplex radiator heater 2kw - toasty warm.

We also use a fan heater occasionally to take the chill off before the radiator has warmed up but prefer the radiator hands down
